Below are some of the machines you will encounter Action Packed Combat Horizon Zero Dawn offers a thrilling combat system that allows you to survive against overwhelming odds. Use stealth and agility to outsmart your opponents; then lay traps to catch them off-guard. Finally, use modifiable weapons to move in and bring down your quarry. Wield Exotic Weapons In Horizon Zero Dawn, primitive materials are combined with high-tech components to produce highly effective hunting weapons. Take down machines many times your size aby making smart use of your arsenal of modifiable weapons, including the Hunter Bow, the Sling and the Ropecaster. Hunter Bow The Hunter Bow is a lightweight, low-powered bow capable of firing regular arrows, fire arrows and hardpoint arrows. It is particularly effective against unarmored humans and animals. Ropecaster The Ropecaster is ideal for temporarily slowing down or immobilizing targets. The arrow on one end of the rope is fired at the target, while the arrow on the other end is fired into the ground. Stealth Takedowns Enemies like this Watcher act as sentries and a warning system to other machines nearby. By avoiding their gaze and sneaking up, Aloy can deliver a lethal, (mostly) silent takedown. Dispatching enemies this way prevents the larger group from realizing the hunters have just become the hunted. Aloy: A New PlayStation Icon For Horizon Zero Dawn’s heroine, Guerrilla has created a fully realized character every bit as strong and versatile as she is relatable. As the behind-the-scenes video below reveals, her design went through numerous iterations before crystallizing into the Aloy found in the game. An Outcast Looking to Belong You will play as Aloy, a young hunter on a quest to discover her destiny among the remnants of the ancient past.
